H. Gordon Montague
Best known for a concise but noteworthy work of natural history, this writer helped document pocket gophers of Wyoming and Colorado in the early 1950s. His published work has the feel of field science at its most direct: careful observation, close comparison, and a clear sense of place.

Two New Pocket Gophers from Wyoming and Colorado
by E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond) Hall, H. Gordon Montague
About the author
H. Gordon Montague is a little-documented author whose name is chiefly associated with Two New Pocket Gophers from Wyoming and Colorado, a scientific publication issued by the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History in 1951 and coauthored with E. Raymond Hall.
The work itself gives the clearest glimpse of his role: it notes that, during the 1947–48 academic year, Montague studied geographic variation in Thomomys talpoides in Wyoming using material from the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. That research contributed to the recognition and description of two previously unnamed subspecies of northern pocket gopher.
Reliable biographical details beyond that publication are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him as a researcher and coauthor whose surviving reputation rests on this focused contribution to mid-century American mammalogy.
